The Gates Lyrics - Beautiful South

Woman goes to heaven, it's not important when 

'Cause as soon as she arrives God has to send her down again 

'You've got an extra five years to clean up after men' 

'I mean no disrespect God, but you better make it ten' 

Well if heaven's an improvement I won't mind the extra squeeze 

I've got a few more birds down there God, after losing bees 

Trying to lose their bees 

So don't be shocked who queue-jumps or who just calmly waits 

A certain type of behaviour the guest list just creates 

No time for lively discussion 

No time for televised debates 

The well-meaning soon become the well meant 

It's the hard sell or hell at the gates

Alcoholic finds himself outside the pearly gates 

I've only got one worry God, a few outstanding slates 

Any tab you used to have's been passed to so called mates 

And after they've paid-up they're off to the land of empty crates 

Heaven is a glass, neither half empty nor half full 

So do us all a favour God and give that thing a pull 

Give that thing a pull 

So don't be shocked who queue-jumps or who just calmly waits 

A certain type of behaviour the guest list just creates 

No time for lively discussion 

No time for televised debates 

The well-meaning soon become the well meant 

It's the hard sell or hell at the gates 

Model turns up hours late, he had to get it right 

If you're gonna look cool in heaven wear something more than white 

Vanity's close to arrogance, just slightly more polite 

Fashion show a jumble sale at a slightly different height 

Photos 

So don't be shocked who queue-jumps or who just calmly waits 

A certain type of behaviour the guest list just creates 

No time for lively discussion 

No time for televised debates 

The well-meaning soon become the well meant 

It's the hard sell or hell at the gates
